UNSPSC 85713638: Revision of internal fixation device in left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0RWT34Z

UNSPSC 85713638 Revision of internal fixation device in left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity appearing in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure on a single joint, but the recent solicitations tagged to this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency care for detained youth — none of which involve internal fixation devices or metacarpocarpal joint procedures. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for diverse medical services unrelated to its clinical definition. The code shows no recent activity aligned with orthopedic implant procurement or fixation-device supply at the state or local level.

The recent opportunities do reflect a broader pattern of state and local health-benefits and occupational-health procurement across multiple jurisdictions. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) is soliciting medical record review and disability evaluations through an RFP due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) is seeking a surgical benefit carve-out program with proposals due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) is establishing a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool due October 7, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services due September 25, 2026, and Collier County (Florida) solicited pharmacy benefit management services. Activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with a focus on administrative and occupational health support rather than implant or device procurement.
